Chapter 28: The Weird Fish

Editor: Hitesh_

After the excitement of discovering the storage ring and the soul stones, Ye Chen felt nothing looking at the low-rank Earth Realm manuals.

Putting away the manuals, Ye Chen took out one last object.

It was a long saber with a scabbard.

Carved on the scabbard were mountains, rivers, birds, and fishes. The handle was quite long and its guard was shaped into a tiger's head with an open mouth that was swallowing the saber.

Ting!

As Ye Chen took out the extremely sharp saber, a bright beam of saber Qi shot out, leaving a one-meter-long mark on the wall.

What an excellent saber! It's imbued with its own Qi! Ye Chen's eyes brightened because he knew a saber imbued with saber Qi was not a Mortal Realm weapon, rather it was a Heaven Realm weapon. His Ye clan also had a family heirloom sword called The Last Shadow, it could slice through the air without any restraint, killing people without them noticing.

Similarly, the saber he was holding probably would have cost at least a million silvers.

The only downside of this was that Ye Chen did not use sabers, he had only used and preferred swords because, in his mind, the sword was widely considered by disciples to be the king of weapons. While more than half of the disciples chose to train in swords arts, only a few could truly master it.

The scary saber disappeared into the scabbard, Ye Chen's eyes moved back to the burnt floor. If I am right, the owner of this stone house must have died from failing to breakthrough, burnt to ashes by the flame of Reality Qi. And naturally, the storage ring on the owner's hand fell off and landed in the ashes.

Bowing in front of the ashes three times, Ye Chen mumbled: "Elder, although you did not leave much behind, but they are all very useful to me. I, a junior disciple from the Sky Cloud Martial School, Ye Chen, hereby bow before you. I hope you will not blame me for taking away your relics."

While bowing, thoughts floated around in Ye Chen's mind, from the things that were left behind, this elder must have a high power level, at least above Clasping Yuan Realm or even the Astral Reaching Realm, too bad that he still ended up going too far, being destroyed by his obsession, which would be another lesson about the difficulty of training martial arts. Not only does one have to be able to defend against outside factors, but he also has to be careful about the demons inside himself.

Stuck inside the underworld, there was no way of knowing the time. With nothing else to do, Ye Chen started training the Pure Jade Body Boosting Spell.

He had already mastered the first spell, and the unity stage of the second spell, all he was lacking was the ability to create the Heavenly Strength inside his body like Sister Xu Jing did before.

What was Heavenly Strength?

One of the best horses in the market was called the Amber Horse. It could run so fast that it looked like it was flying, and it had an extremely strong body. Their striking power could reach two thousand pounds standing still. And that was just from using the Heavenly Strength.

Right then, Ye Chen had already reached about one thousand and five hundred pounds which was not far from the target, two thousand pounds. But he knew the closer he got, the longer it would take him.

He took out few bottles of body boosting ointment, took off his clothes, and started to rub the ointment onto his body, carefully, not leaving any spots until his skin shone with oil. Ye Chen then started his fist art training.

He was still training the King Kong Fist Art.

The higher you trained a fist art, the more effectively it would train the body. However, the King Kong Fist Art, that he was performing, was different from the usual, Ye Chen was combining it with the second movement of the Pure Jade Body Boosting Spell. Practicing both internal and outer martial arts together, the effects were even more obvious.

"King Kong River!" "King Kong Mash!" "King Kong Ocean!" "King Kong Unlimited!"

Going through all the movements of King Kong Fist Art, Ye Chen slowly lost himself in practicing, forgetting about everything around him.

Vaguely, he could hear his blood pumping inside his body like a river. But on the contrary, he could feel his heart beating more and more slowly, yet more and more powerfully, like drums shaking every bone.

No one knew how long it had been before Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes, his body shifted, his punch landed on a huge gray tree branch.

Boom!

The huge branch was extremely tough and only responded with a few cracks.

What a tough tree! But my power has increased quite a lot, it should be one thousand and six hundred pounds now! The Pure Jade Body Boosting Spell was surprisingly effective.

In the short time of an hour, Ye Chen's power had increased one hundred pounds which was never going to happen with only King Kong Fist.

After a short break, Ye Chen felt a bit hungry, all of those movements had clearly drained his energy.

Walking towards the river, Ye Chen thought, those fish in the river should be edible, right?

The river was very deep but it was very clear. Ye Chen could see some shadows moving around under the surface. The small ones were one meter long, the big ones were almost three meters long. They swam with an extremely fast speed, they just shook their tails and would shoot out eight meters, away from his sight.

Picking up a rock, Ye Chen grunted, "Now!"

With his thousand pounds' power, the little rock in his hand was sharper than an assassin's weapon, drawing a straight line into the bottom of the river.

Whoosh!

All of a sudden, a dark shadow twisted and appeared out of the river.

The water splashed everywhere, revealing a dark brown strange looking fish. There were spikes near its gills and it had a sleek muscled body with dented skin.

It opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth and jumped at Ye Chen's head.

Ye Chen gave it a light smile, bowed a little, and hit the fish in its stomach.

Chin!

The weird fish's skin was like steel, which surprised Ye Chen. He knew his punch could turn a huge stone into dust, but, somehow, it could not break through this fish's skin.

Bang!

The weird fish bounced back half meter from the punch, however, its long slim tail swung towards Ye Chen. It was so fast that it stirred up a strong wind. Even Ye Chen did not want to take it directly.

At this deadly moment, instead of backing out, Ye Chen took out the saber from his new storage ring, and swung it at the fish.

Whoosh! The fish's tail was cut off.

The weird fish fell back into the river, and hurriedly swam towards the deep, afraid to attack Ye Chen again.

Ye Chen forced a smile, he knew it would not be this easy if he did not have the saber. He would probably still be struggling to break its defense. However, the weird fish did not seem to carry Beast Qi, so it could not be a beast of some sort. So it must be a powerful ancient creature.

The fish's tail was a meter long, thick as the bowl, and should be enough to fill up Ye Chen.

Ye Chen carried a flint and steel, everywhere he went. He quickly made a fire and started to barbecue the fish.

Fifteen minutes later, a great smell, which Ye Chen had never smelt before, spread around Ye Chen, making him salivate.

Grabbing the fish tail, Ye Chen bit into it. The fish meat was so tender that he almost bit his tongue.

Unbelievable! This fish meat is like both beef and chicken, it has this rich taste that I cannot describe with words, and is also extremely chewy. Wait! Why is is my body startinging to heat up?

After he swallowed the fish meat, Ye Chen felt a warmth moving around his body, all the way into his stomach and,, from there, it spread all over his body and into his muscles, blood, and even bones.One wave after another, all he could feel was the warmth.


Chapter 29: Heavenly Strength Achieved!

Editor: Hitesh_

About fifteen minutes later, the heat finally wore off and Ye Chen could feel an endless stream of energy coming out from inside of his body continuously. The energy invigorated him and he felt like he could kill even an adult tiger with one punch.

Did that fish meat just boost my body? Ye Chen's face was full of joy as he carried on munching on the fish tail, stuffing it all in without much chewing.

Whoosh!

His body started to heat up rapidly and black sticky gooey stuff was seen coming out of the pores on his skin, accompanied by a bad odor that almost caused Ye Chen to black out from the smell.

"I can't take it anymore, I really need to cleanse myself!" Ye Chen could not stand it anymore and dived into the river full of strange fishes.

Splash!

When the water splashed onto his body, Ye Chen felt his temperature go down. Ye Chen felt extremely relaxed as he felt all his pores over his body open up and be refreshed.

However, while Ye Chen was enjoying the moment, the residents of the river were not.

The strange fishes nearby heard the noise and were irritated by the filth streaming from Ye Chen, and attacked Ye Chen in retaliation fiercely.

Ye Chen sneered as he took out his great saber and swung out.

One, two, three...

Totally, there were nine fishes were cut in half without being able to fight back, all by that one attack of Ye Chen's.

One by one, Ye Chen threw all of their bodies onto the land, saving them for later.

After a quick rinse, Ye Chen came out from the river. As he shook off the dripping water, he felt his body had lightened and power increased. Besides that, Ye Chen could feel the fish meat in his stomach had already been digested and felt intense hunger pains.

The largest fish of the nine was about one-meter-long. Ye Chen picked up three of them, gutted them, then rinsed them out in the river. He then skewered them and started barbecuing again.

Soon, a delicious smell spread out in the cave.

My power had already increased a lot, I wonder if I could gain Heavenly Strength by eating all these fishes. Power over two thousand pounds was called Heavenly Strength. Some people attained Heavenly Strength when they were eight or nine years old, while some died unable to attain it all their lives, and that was the difference between geniuses and mortal people. Normally, it would take Ye Chen at least a week to reach the level of power with the help of Pure Jade Body Boosting Spell, but now with the fish meat, he not only fed himself but also reached his goal, a perfect win-win scenario.

After eating the three fishes,more black gunk appeared on Ye Chen's skin, but there was far less and much clearer than the first time.

Suddenly, Ye Chen felt a sharp pain from his stomach accompanied by a loud rumbling. Ye Chen's face soured as he ran to a hole and squatted as his innards unloaded itself.

It was like an exploding volcano; the place was contaminated with an unbearable odor. After finishing his business, Ye Chen did not feel the expected weakness of such a violent expulsion, rather, he felt quite relieved. It was the leftover black stuff that did not come out of Ye Chen's skin.

While being naked, Ye Chen sprinkled some vanilla powder around to mask the horrific odor, then he walked towards the river again.

Once again, he washed away the black gunk on his skin. His skin felt smooth like silk, tough like steel, and impervious to all blades. His body looked like it had been trained thousands of times, his muscles sleek, and shoulders wide and strong.

Ye Chen calmly felt the changes as his body continued absorbing Yuan Qi from nature. The Yuan Qi was also changing slowly as its speed slowly increased and was continuously being mixed with the Qi inside his body.

The Qi tornado in his Dantian gradually condensed as the pressure increased rapidly.

It seemed that not only my body has been strengthened, but the speed of absorbing Yuan Qi had also increased, which means I have broken past that bottleneck of Heavenly Strength.

Ye Chen's power had already reached beyond two thousand pounds and was reaching three thousand pounds at an inhuman speed. Comparing physical power just alone, Ye Chen was already as powerful as Xu Jing already.

...

Eating fish, training his fist art, and purifying his Qi, Ye Chen passed time slowly.

One day, Ye Chen once again stood in front of the gray humongous tree.

If I could punch this huge tree in half, then my power could be considered to have reached three thousand pounds. Then I can easily train the third spell of the Pure Jade Body Boosting Spell. Once I master the third spell, I can use the Yuan Qi from soul stones instead of the nature Yuan Qi, which would massively increase my training speed.

In Ye Chen's mind, his future was cleared and all planned it all out.

He!

Let out his breath, he started to use his power, he then punched the tree.

Crack!

The next second, the top part of the tree started to fall down then hit the ground with a loud sound.

Yes! I did it! Ye Chen took a deep breath. It was even more powerful than I thought! It should be around three thousand five hundred pounds.

Although there was no way to know for sure, but according to Ye Chen's instinct, it had only been three days, perhaps even less.

Within three days, he had already mastered the second spell of the Pure Jade Body. Even Ye Chen was shocked by his own training speed, he could not help but think how strong his power would continue to grow. It might even reach beyond five thousand, or even ten thousand pounds.

Shaking his head, Ye Chen could not imagine such power.

As time flew by, Ye Chen began to feel bored. This place is so depressing, completely cut off from the outside world with no sunlight, it was fine for one or two days, but if I have to live here everyday, I am afraid I will go crazy!

Making up his mind, Ye Chen decided to leave this place.

He stared at the river, deciding to get keep those strange fish in his storage ring before he left. Ye Chen figured the value of the fish should be more than ten thousand silvers, especially that three-meter-long huge fish whose tail alone could outshine those other little fishes.

Thinkng of that, Ye Chen took out his great saber and dived into the river one last time.

The river was very deep and pitch dark. However, Ye Chen already expected the darkness, he threw out a couple Night Shine stones.

Swoosh!

The river started rumbling, as a huge shadow swamed towards the opposite side.

Where do you think you are going?

Ye Chen accumulated his Qi and waved his saber.

The bright saber Qi was unstoppable; it was like a lightning chasing after the shadow. Shoo! The shadow froze in the middle of the river.

Ye Chen did not want to take any risk, so he swung his saber at it again.

Exactly as Ye Chen expected, the huge shadow struggled for a while making the water around it keep moving, blurring Ye Chen's sight.

Obviously, it would not be a problem for Ye Chen. With his Qi, Ye Chen grabbed the shadow effortlessly, then his feet pushed the water, his whole body jumping out of the river.

Ye Chen threw the fish body onto the ground then dived back into the river.

One, two, five...

Until there was no longer any more fish, Ye Chen finally gave up.

It's time to head back. That beast would not still be there waiting for me, right? Ye Chen was still a bit worried, the powerful rank 4 beast was impossible for him to beat. Even if he managed to have ten thousand pounds of power, he still would not have a chance. Unless he reached the Condensing Reality Stage.

Following the path he came from, Ye Chen carefully walked back.

There was light in the far distance which would be the entrance. Ye Chen held his breath, tightened the saber in his hand, walked towards the exit without any sounds.
